What's a good Android app for quickly scanning QR codes and barcodes directly from my phone's home screen without having to open the app itself every time?

For quick scans, QR & Barcode Scanner Launcher is pretty slick. It lets you launch right into scanning mode from a home screen widget, saving you a few taps.

Okay, so I've been messing around with QR & Barcode Scanner Launcher, and the thing that stood out to me is how quickly you can get to the scanner. As a developer, I appreciate efficiency. Instead of opening the app and then selecting 'scan,' you can add a widget to your home screen that launches the scanner directly. It's a small thing, but it saves a few seconds each time, which adds up if you're scanning a lot of codes. The app itself is straightforward, does what it says on the tin, and the widget functionality is a definite plus for frequent users. It's pretty lightweight too, so it's not gonna hog resources or drain your battery, which is always a concern. I think it's a solid option if you need quick access to QR and barcode scanning.
